Perhaps a goodbye is what is needed.
The words to this post has been lingering in my mind for a while now. Since before the pandemic, long since before my last reply on tumblr for Magnolia Caine. I haven’t been able to properly articulate why it was I was leaving tumblr. First it was the lack of muse, then the lack of time, and finally, I’ve come to realize, it was that I outgrew RP on this platform. I’ve spent the last, almost, two years writing entirely on discord and Magnolia grew. So freaking much. Her family expanded and her story, over time, changed. She is still my wicked little witch with the heart of gold, but she is so much more than I ever imaged her to come out to be. She was given more supports she grew up with, a family that was greater than a sister and parents. She is a beautiful person living in the confines of my mind, who writes freely on discord without formatting, without gifs and icons, without the drama that often times is tumblr.
I’m incredibly lucky to have been able to grow as a writer on this platform. My earlier writing was less eloquent, looking very much like someone who had never written a word in her life. “You look beautiful,” she said, turned into ocean eyes sparkled as air caught in Magnolia’s throat, unable to speak in that very moment. Dani looked like a goddess. “—wow. You— you look beautiful,” came the soft words, full of awe and admiration. I was able to learn how to write with all of you. And forever, I will be grateful. I wish I could say this isn’t a forever goodbye from tumblr, but that would be me lying to all of you. So, with all my gratitude and love, I write my final goodbye to you all. From here, anyway. I’m always on discord, should you ever want to plot and write with Magnolia (and check in with me, obviously.) I’m just chasing my dreams and don’t have the time for the nuisance of formatting posts, taking out my laptop, finding gifs and icons to fit my words. I honestly just want to write.
Love you all, and see you on the flip side. All my information will be found below. Feel free to unfollow my account, if you wish so. I’ll miss you all, should you choose not to write on discord. And that’s okay. We all grow and move on. I’ll repost this a few times for the next couple of days, at different times. Then I’m deleting the app on my phone and iPad. Goodbye, friends. It’s been fun.
